      no I had a ear infection because I was digging in my ear the ear infection was caused by thickness of the eardrum and the mucus in the ear has no were to escape and it got thicker and thicker and then germs enter the ear germs is everywhere so it caused bacteria and created an infection.

    This is very good advice. A few days after swimming, my right ear still felt "clogged" and itchy, so I used a Q-tip to get the water out. The ear continued to itch, so I used more Q-Tips over the next few days until I realized that I was only irritating my ear and I stopped. But my ear continued to feel "clogged" and my hearing was impaired. After several months, I was still suffering the itchiness and "clogged" sensation, so I went to see an Ear Nose and Throat ("ENT") specialist. Upon examining my ear canal, the ENT specialist found, and removed, an old Q-Tip cotton tip wedged against my eardrum. Immediate relief and hearing improvement! The tip had been wedged in there for months, and I had not realized!

  • @scent-bubbles

    I've gone to four different hearing doctors and they all advised me to use Q-Tips- but to not stick it in extremely far. Nearly everyone has over-waxed ears- so cleaning them with qtips/water/ear drops isn't bad at all.

    STORY TIME: I used a q-tip in my ears yesterday. Right after, all sound was completely muffled in my right ear. The muffling has not gone away. No, I did not roughly jab it in my ear. And no, I did not push it in extremely far. I tried cleaning my ear out myself with Debrox according to box instructions, and it is even more muffled. Using q-tips can push ear wax further into your canal. The ear wax buildup is what's muffling my hearing. So to anyone hating, this is a very real thing. I've learned the hard way. Now, I have to go to an ENT doctor to clean out my ear. 🥺

    I've done as you said in the past; Twice I virtually neglected "care" of inside of my ears. And twice I have to see a doctor because I ended up SHUTTING IT TIGHT with ear wax. I can't hear ANYTHING on that side of the ear.
    The medical procedure to get it out is not exactly pleasing: You'd have a small, milimeter size water jet gushing through your ear to "carve up" and dissolve the wax. Then the byproduct is placed inside of a container. The worst case I have is a wax lump the size of a small cigarette butt. And the cost isn't exactly cheap either (will differ from country to country).
    So now I routinely use q-tip to clean my ears, carefully not to push it further inside. Around once per 3 days and I've never had the medical case anymore.
    And now you're saying don't use a q tip. So, exactly HOW do I maintain it? Can't use the info on the video, been here done that!

    • @BoredDan7
      @BoredDan7 6 лет назад +45

      The ears self clean. Most people should not get wax buildup inside their ears and if they do, yes they should see a doctor. Removing the wax makes you more vulnerable to ear infections, and using q-tips can irritate the ears, push wax to parts of the ear that can't clean as well, and possibly do damage to your eardrum. If you need to have your ears cleaned get it done properly with a wash. Long and short of it, Q-tips should not go inside your ear.

If it were intended, we would have evolved to have tiny q-tip fingers.. animals don't need q-tips, why do you think you do? Just say no to q-tips.

    He's not wrong and it's no scam. I had bad ear infections frequently as a kid (20-25ish years ago), and the doctors and nurses told me the same thing, so this is hardly new. All I do is wick water out of my ears with the towel after showering and my ears are perfectly clean. I also don't get infections anymore. Using qtips only on the outside is safe and effective (just don't drive it into the ear canal), as the wax naturally works its way out of your ears.

    I see the problem. It’s the way you use the qtip. My boyfriend who has had ear issues in the past digs it way deep in there and makes a really uncomfortable look on his face and says it hurts. When I do it it feels great. I do it 3-4x a week. Small circular motions and not too deep. In the past 15-20 years I’ve only had one bad ear ache. Hearing is great. His hearing is not so great and he has had to go he r it professionally cleaned. Do not dig it in deep and when you insert you start with it pressed against a wall not in the direct middle. I think it’s about learning how to use the proper cleaning technique. I also only clean my ears after hot showers when I feel my ears a little “wet” inside. I can tell the wax melts a tiny bit making it easy to clean.

    Our old geography teacher used to tell us not to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear, lol, he never explained why though, so we all thought he was full of shit.. hmmm, well it's good to know that he was far wiser than we gave him credit for.

    I've been cleaning my ears with Q tips for many years. Never had a problem. Doctors do it all the time. We in the medical field (I'm not and MD, but I am in the medical field) use an ear wax solvent first, then a Q tip to "mop up" the solution turning the Q tip as you enter the ear. It completely cleans the ear canal without ever touching the ear drum.

    Alternatives to Q-Tips:
    1) get a professional clean the ear out and remove the wax
    2) Use a soft tissue or toilet paper to clean the ears from the outside and inside the auricle
    - do not go deep into the canal, just make it so that you can't see the wax anymore from the outside

    • @charlessmith263
      @charlessmith263 2 года назад

      Using curettes yourself to get rid of earwax - though not cotton swabs - can also be very dangerous to do yourself. They should only be used by nurses or doctors (ENTs especially) because you cannot see the eardrum even with your own mirrors to use a curette. And curettes can be sharp and pointed. YOU NEED TO SEE THE EAR CANAL OR EAR DRUM TO DO THE CURETTE THING TO GET RID OF WAX THE RIGHT WAY! That is why pros use mirrors to look into the ear when curetting to get rid of ear wax.
      Trying to do curetting yourself can rip your eardrum so bad that it will not heal easily, or not heal at all, and it can be something like sensorineural deafness - permanent eardrum damage, and you will not be able to hear anymore.

    So as someone who's done this and still does it to this day I think it might be an addiction honestly, basically I go to far and start to hear the end of the q tip moving around in my ear because I have perforated my eardrum by pushing up through the wall into the middle and inner ear I've got hearing problems now and constantly get ear infections and thick earwax build up trust me guys it's really not worth it getting the doctor to clean out your ears alsoooo feels good

  • @wmosmond

    I use Peroxide on the Q-Tips. Do it at least once a month. Never had a problem. insert one end of the Q-Tip with Peroxide gently,twist slightly,turn to the clean end,turn slightly, clears it.

    • @23ofSeptember
      @23ofSeptember 8 лет назад

      I always dampen the end of a q-tip with my tongue before i insert. However, I clean at least once a week so there is never any wax build-up.

    Q-tips spefically says don't insert swab into ear canal. Originally used for babies (originally called baby gays) you actually push some ear wax deeper in than taking it out can induce hearing lose and if you push in too deeply you can even ruptured your ear drum. Earwax protects us from dirt and bugs

    Tip: put the qtip's tip into warm water and then twist the qtip slowly in your ear. Thank me later
    It also feels better than just shoving the qtip up your ears.
